While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:
- Brussels sprouts are vegetables that contain ascorbic acid, an essential nutrient for humans.
- Apples are fruits that contain ascorbic acid.
- There is 80 milligrams (mg) of ascorbic acid in every 100 grams (g) of brussels sprouts.
- There is 6 mg of ascorbic acid in every 100 g of apple.
